FALSE ALARM, IT'S HOPED.

An Austin dispatch reports rumor
to the effect that certain free grass
politicians are going to make an effort
in the State immigration meeting to
get declaration against the lease law
as the cause of the cessation IN immi-
grafton to Texas. If they do make
the effort, and will also blame the lease
law with the drouth, the measure VIII
be more apt to pass. If the report
should be true, the HERALD regards II
as the greatest injury to the immigra-
ton move which could just now be
inflicted and if the question OF lease
law and free grass is sprung III that
convention, the people of the state
will but be confirmed in their suspl-
cion and belief that the raal Interested
opponents of the lease law are also OPP
posed to immigration aud will leave
nothing undone to keep the western
counties free from the invasion OF the
oman with the hoe" 1t is to be hoped
by all who earnestly desire the success
of this immigration move and the
progress of development in Texas that
there will be no such dissention as that
feared by the Austin correspondents
and the most fruitful harmony will
prevail. The State administration is
pledged to immigration ana
the development of Texas, and
Gov. Ross declares that the power ofthe
state, if necessary, shall.be used to secure
in undisputed possession and enjoy
mont settlers upon all that is desired
Of the thirty million acres OF school
and other public lands. Texas isnear
" unit in this sentiment, and woe
should be to the man or Interest who
would dare countcract or retard the
movement.

A NEATLY printed and well-written
pamphlet, Some Suggestions to the
People of Texas on the all-absorbing
immigration question, is being circu-
lated among the citizens of Dallas and
incoming delegates TO the State Con-
vention. II is a practical and thor
ough discussion of the subject and
deserves to be carefully read
by every man who goes into the con-
vention tomorrow. The authors
name is not given, but the man
ner of treating the question is
conclusive evidence that John
Howard the prime mover in the
present immigration move is acquaint-
ed with the needs of Texas, and ur-
derstands, too, how the need may be
supplied. Read it.

more substantial improvements pub

county is fortunate, and is doubtless
in the lead, worthy example to

to have good highways. The present
county administration in few years
more will have county roads as good
or better than Dallas city streets.

The Fire Boys.

Great Bend Hose Company A met
at council chamber Friday. Six
teen members present. Final action
was taken on the adoption of Consti-
tuition, Rules and Bylaws.
A good set of rules were adopted
which will be amended and added to
from time to time as the boys get bet
ter up in the business and understand
the necessities for the changes.
We predict that Great Bend will
have one Of the best organized and
most efficient fire companies in the
state.
All the members are strong, active
men-just such men as are needed to
face the destroying element and SUBJ
due it.
The next regular meeting will be
on the first Tuesday in September.

If WE are to credit the reports con-
corning the fiendish hyenas who de-
spoiled the dead at the Chatsworth
disaster, there certainly is grand Op-
portunity for some of the many would
be detectives of the country to acquire
fame and at the same time bring to
justice some of the worst class of hui
man beings Oh Gods green earth.
The horror of such Il catastrophe is
great enough when we think of the
loss of life; but, to add to this, the
thought that perhaps the bridge was
set on fire by band of worse than
grave-robbers, is simply unbearable.

Sundays Baseball Game.

Sunday morning the Scott City
train pulled out from Great Bend
with about seVenty-five of our citi-
zens on board who were going to wit
ness game of ball between our home
team and Scott City team. They ar
rived in good time and commenced
the game.
The score at the end of the ninth
INNING stands 8 to Is in favor of
Scott.
The result of the game shows CON-
clusively that something was wrong.
A kick is not made because our boys
were beaten, but because they so far
forgot their duty to themselves and to
the people who have subscribed and
willingly paid money to get and sup
port good ball team.
We talked with a great many of
our people who went up to witness
the game, and the general belief is
that the several cases of beer which
were taken along were the cause of
the unfattering result.
This paper has been a strong sup
porter of the ball club, having done
all we could to assist it; and, while
we did not favor the Sunday excur-
sion, we refrained from making a
fight against it for the reason that
some Of the baseball people told -us
they were good deal in debt and
hoped from the profits on the excur-
sion to clear off the debt We also
talked with a number of merchants
and clerks who favored the excursion
on Sunday for the reason that they
could not get away on week days and
would like to witness good game.
We now feel that the maintainance
of the organization is not a benefit to
the moral or financial interests of the
city, and in this we are backed by
the best citizens Of the city.
The ball team goes from Scott To
Garden City, where they play tO-mor-
row.

The Natural Gas Belt.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
has an extended article ON the natural
gas belt of the country, prepared by a
gentleman who has given this subject
careful thought and investigation.
From the article we will quote: West
ern Missouri, nearly all of Kansas, Ne
braska, east Colorado and New Mex
leo, will, in the near future demon
strate to the world that great polar
current laden with an immensity of
primative carbon left its prodigiOus
load on the eastern slope of the Rocky
mountains. There are also valid reas-
ons which We cannot now give for
claiming that a great part of the
southern states, from central Texas TO
Geogia, is one of the great gas ter
ritories, and within the next half cen
tury it is very likely that even the
very sAales that are hardly combusti-
bic, will in that region be mined and
made to burn more readily than our

NORMAL NOTES.

"Who lives across the street,"
Everybody is studying the Consti-
tuition.
The new week is conspicuous for
full attendance.
All the students are requested to
register who have not already done
so.
A good season would have swelled
the number of Normalites up to over
$50.
Beautiful weather, rather cool,
moist, etc., for the normalites this
year.
Boys. constitution tCiU be required
for the End grade and don't you for
get it.
So many of the Normal gentlemen
expect to become lawyers; that is dis
couraging.
Girls, why did you leave the school
building so suddenly during the fore
noon ON the 18th?
Come out to the Normal the rest of
the term. Everyone come. Bring
along everyone else. Only two weeks
more.
Prof. Zirkle claims that "natural
gas is afoat in the school.rooms.
The Professor is very popular because
of his quiet humor.
Miss Dora Wesly leads the school
in sacred music every morning. Mr..
w. &. Yard accompanies in vocal
music at the same time.
Many expect to ''take in" the Insti-
tute the last two weeks or parts of the
same. There are others, however,
who make "all or nothing" their
motto.
1t is known that a number of ladies
in town advertised their names for
"normal boarders," on lists specially
arranged for that purpose by Prof.
Reece, as Mrs. Bailey, Hedges, Bland,
etc. No dissatisfaction has been
made known. 1t is undoubtedly due
to the efforts of Prof. Reece thac both
landlady and students are satisfied.
P. Looney, brother of our Pawnee

yer. He is promising young man,
and attended the Institute but one
day and part Of the next, when he
was taken i'll. Since then he has
almost constantly been confined to
his bed. His father, brothers, and at
times Prof. Zirkle, are sympathetic
spectators.
Prof. Reece gave an experimental
lecture to-day on the subject of ely
drogen Gas" An experiment was
made this morning, also, with car
bonic acid gas. Both were marked
by success, and the students watched
with the greatest interest. 1t was
proved that carbonic acid gas was de-
structive to fire and life, is heavier
than air, will not burn, ETC., and that
hydrogen gas will burn, is lighter
than air, etc. Everyone went home
satisfied.

Caught the Sea Serpent.

Look there, the sea serpent, by
mighty!'' exclaimed one of Capt. e.. IL.
Griffin's crew yesterday afternoon.
"Great Scott, he's going to board u.s."
said the captain.
Right ahead the long wake proclaim
ed the presence of some marine mon
ster, and there was very snake-like
head to be seen above the top of the
water. Capt. Griffin caught up a har-
poon and said: III have him, by
gosh!''
Don't strike, cap'n'' yelled his mate.
The warming came to late, the iron
was already shooting through the air
with lightning speed, and before the
captain hadn't more than time to say
Look out" it was caught and held
fast. For a moment it lay on the
water, then it started off seaward, 60
ing at "a rate too rapid to be described
in landsman terms.
Captain Griffin is of the opinion that
his boat beat the time Of the MayfiOw-
er. The rope attached TO the harpOOn
was very long one. and was paid
OUT as far as possible. What he had
struck the captain didn't know, but he
did know that he was being taken
along shore at most fearful rate.
For miles the boat was carried along,
and then the prOpelling power stopped,
seemed to hesitate, and then started
inshOre. Tired out at last, it came to
the surface, revealing the outlines of
the largest turtle they had ever seen.
The monster was got at after long
struggle, and it was tied to a schooner
over night. 1t concluded to go back TO
sea and actually was running away
with the schooner when it was cap
tured for the second time and taken
back. 1t was hoisted OH shore this
morning and was found to weigh l ,43Q.
pounds.
Captain Dugan sold his -'catch'' to
w. w. Dugan and G. L. Trufethen,
who found that the turtle is the largest
ever seen in these waters. Capt. b. +.
Willard, who is one of the oldest cap
tains here, says that 80 years ago YES
sci, having OH board ten southern tur-
ties, was wrecked OIL the Maine coast,
and II is thought the specimen caught
yesterday is one of them. The turtle
is supposed To have been seen free
.quently during the past two OF three
years, and to have given foundation,
so to speak, for the numerous sea-ser-
pents experiences, of which some very
thrilling accounts have been written.
In Boston they say the summer was
''ferved." In this city We stick to the
plain Henry Ward Beecher expression.

The "Chinese Jugglers" Caught.

Sunday the Sheriff and Deputy
returned to Great Bend with A. Y
Livingston and Albert Krouse, the
two men who made the attempt to
rob the Chinaman recently. They
were apprehended at Denver, where
they were going under assumed
names. They did not "know" Dep
uty-Sheriff Wilson at first, but finally
acknowledged mis- acquaintance and
owned up to having assaulted the
Chinaman, but said they did not in
tend anything but to ''scare him. >
From all the circumstances connected
with the affair, the general belief is a
general disbelief in their claim of no
intended wrong. Our officers deserve
the commendation OF the public for
the capture.
